If you shoot a deer in early season, call us for a track, even if it is a good shot, I would appreciate the practice. Greg Kolb

We hope to have puppies in the near future. We have some spots available for a male pup if you know anyone wanting to get into tracking. These will be some great pups.

Another happy Hunter. This deer was shot this morning and the Hunter was not sure where she had hit it. Everything she thought was a liver shot so we waited 10 hours. They had jumped him out of his first bed four hours post shot. I put Tank out and he hit the line very good to where the deer cut across a large fescue field and cut through some cedars. We had blood confirmation at the Cedars so we knew we were in the right spot. Once we crossed the fence, Tank took us on a straight line to a patch of woods on the other side of a field. No luck there, I restarted him and he took the same line again. We were about to give up, but I decided to restart him one more time, this time he took a different line and we eventually made our way to the buck that was bedded down and still alive . I contacted Hunter and told her to bring her crossbow. She was able to finish the deer with her second shot. So thankful they changed the law to allow the hunter to bring her crossbow along or we would’ve had a long wait for her to go all the way back to the truck.

We recovered our 40th deer of Tsnks career this morning. The Hunter contacted us last night and said he had shot a deer, but there was no blood and no arrow. We got to the site this morning and there was no evidence that a deer had been hit . The Hunter told us the direction that the deer went andTank was wanting to go the exact opposite way, after a while, I forced Tank to go on the line the Hunter had told me. After having no luck going that way I went for a restart and Tank again was wanting to go the opposite direction. Turns out he was scenting about the deer in the other direction. Apparently the Hunter shot the wrong deer, his arrow was laying right next to this one. Always happy to help Hunterr find his deer.
The best part was my grandson was along for the recovery.

Tank was able to make a happy hunter last night. He shot the deer quartering away. The arrow did not pass through so there was very little blood. We tracked trough standing beans that were 3 feet tall. It was harder for me to get through than Tank. He goes through them like a rabbit. After we hit the woods, we had a few drops of blood for confirmation and a short time later, we were standing over this buck. Missouri Blood Trackers Association

Jaden Kolb has not been able to hunt turkeys the past 4 years so I was pretty happy he was able to come up yesterday. We were able to close the deal yesterday and tag out today. Even found some mushrooms while we were at it. Couldn’t have asked for a better couple of days.
